Nope, it's fast because they have a native programming language, Windows is basicly just DOS with a fancy layer of paint.
Don't hate the Mac cause it's faster, envy it.
No it's faster because all of it's systems are memory cached to the right degree, the people who make them just aren't big losers like most of the IBM designers.

whats the mac native programming language? LOL. are you telling me its all written in POWERPC ASSEMBER LANGUAGE?
as for windows and dos. this is all wrong. you're thinking of windows9x/me.
win2000 and xp have no dos whatsoever. the dos in xp and win2k is virtualized on top of the win32.
memory cached? you're just talking buzzwords that you dont understand :P
the PPC is a good cpu, but the design of the mac hardware isnt anything special. usually the graphics and the memory subsystem arent as fast as stuff already on sale for pc... and then after a year, definately not.
a new pc mobo with pci express, is going to be a lot more *grin* "better memory cached" than a mac.
ibm dont even MAKE computers anymore. pc's havent been tied into IBM since the first alternative BIOS manufacturers reverse engineered the ibm bios.
this is crucially why p.c's are always going to be cheaper than macs... macs are a ONE COMPANY ONLY product, where as p.c's are open systems = competition = make them faster, cheaper, etc.
apple just TELLS mac users what theyre going to have. change from 68000 to ppc.. dont like it? tough. want a floppy drive? tough. its just lucky for apple that all the fanboys love whatever they do... even that imac that looked like a desklamp.
